The Justice and Development Party (PJD) has expressed its profound astonishment at the occurrence of a group of individuals performing Talmudic prayers in front of a segment of the historic wall of Marrakech. The party has articulated its strong condemnation of this unprecedented incident, not only in the city but throughout the entire kingdom.
In a statement issued by the regional office of the party in Marrakech, they emphasized that such provocative practices are entirely disconnected from the narrative of tolerance and coexistence that certain pro-Zionist individuals promote. The party views these actions as a disturbing attempt to propagate cultural and symbolic incursions of Zionism into Morocco. They stressed the necessity for relevant authorities to fulfill their roles in safeguarding the Moroccan identity in all its dimensions, preserving the memories of ancient cities like Marrakech, and preventing the recurrence of such provocative actions.
The party warns of the serious implications of this strange occurrence, which touches on the collective memory of the people of Marrakech and all Moroccans, serving as a provocation to their sentiments. The incident is seen as an unacceptable attempt to distort the historical and symbolic realities of Marrakech, attributing meanings that are completely inconsistent with the religious and civilizational constants of the kingdom.
Furthermore, the party highlights the dangers of normalizing such practices and behaviors reminiscent of the actions associated with the Zionist occupation in Palestine and Jerusalem. They recall the suffering endured by the Palestinian people for decades. The party calls upon political and civil actors as well as intellectual and artistic figures in the city to remain vigilant, actively engage in defending the historical and religious identity of Marrakech, and protect its uniqueness, status, and history. This is deemed a collective responsibility that requires continuous awareness and ongoing mobilization from various stakeholders and officials.
